Obsidian by Kimberly Loth

"I
would definitely like to recommend this book to ANY young adult
fantasy/paranormal fan out there! You will most definitely breeze
through the pages as I did, due to the abundance of excitement,
originality, enjoyable characters and fast paced tempo! Enjoy :)"- Goodreads, Readiculously Peachy

With
Obsidian out in the world, I feel like I’ve finally arrived as an
author. This is my second series and people in my circle are starting to
take notice. A phrase I hear all the time is—“Wow, you’re so lucky that
you get to follow your dreams.” That phrase is almost always followed
with—“How do you do it?”

Most
people ask that question because in addition to writing and publishing
books, I’m also a full time middle school math teacher.

Here’s what my day typically looks like:

4:30 am: Alarm goes off and I hit snooze.

4:45 am:
I get up, check my email and facebook notifications (most of which are
book related). I take care of anything urgent and grab cup of hot
chocolate.

5:00 am: Head back to my room where I don’t have any Internet reception and write for two hours.

7:00 am: Get ready for work

7:45 am:
Eat breakfast with my husband at this cute French café close to my
work. It’s rare time for us to sit and talk without any other
distractions.

8:15 am: Arrive at work, answer other emails and things that I couldn’t do in the wee hours of the morning.

8:30 am: School starts. I teach math. And answer a lot of questions.

Morning break/Lunch: Deal with more emails. If I have time, I work on marketing.

7:00: Watch
crime dramas with my husband and teenagers. It’s my favorite part of
the day because really it’s the only time I’m not working.

8:30: Head to bed and read until I can’t keep my eyes open anymore, usually around 9:30

And it starts all over again the next day.

I
will often work on book stuff all day on Saturdays as well. About once a
month my husband will force me to go do something fun on a Saturday.
And I love him for it.

Sundays
are my no work day. I’ll still check my emails and facebook, but that’s
my day to go to church and spend time with my family. It’s my favorite
day of the week.

I
know some people might wonder why I bother if it’s so much work. But I
wouldn’t trade this work for anything. I love every second of it. I’m
passionate about my books and publishing. I do it because I love sharing
my stories with the world. For so many years they were stuck only in my
head and now they are out there and people are reading them and to my
great surprise, people like them. I hope you’ll check out my new book,
Obsidian. It’s .99 cents for only a couple of weeks, so get your copy

About the author:

Kimberly
Loth can’t decide where she wants to settle down. She’s lived in
Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Utah, California, Oregon, and South
Carolina. She finally decided to make the leap and leave the U.S. behind
for a few years. Currently, she lives in Cairo, Egypt with her husband
and two kids.

She
is a high school math teacher by day (please don’t hold that against
her) and YA author by night. She loves romantic movies, chocolate,
roses, and crazy adventures. Kissed is her first novel.
